So when you said

quote:

"people who run 4.35, 38" vert and 10-6 broad jumps dont really grow on trees."
that's what makes them freaks
You were only referring to people 225 pounds and over? What is the definition for a 220 pound guy? Is it just his 40 time that has to be faster, or does he also need more bench reps? What about broad jump? Or vertical? Is there a matrix for this?

Or do you just have to be 225 pounds to be a "freak"?

Oh, and btw, Cassanova wasn't 225 pounds.

If I took away your computer, you'd just be another 25 year old loser.

I'm guessing there will be an MSB thread shortly laughing at Rantards who don't understand athleticism...

What if you're really big? How fast does a 280# guy have to run to be eligible for "freakness"?

I'm pretty sure Randall Gay fits all your criteria, according to his pro day stats. I'm searching for them now.

Oh yea, another guy who would be a freak athlete according to your criteria is Steven Korte. He fits every damn one of your points. I think he is the answer you are looking for.

ronnie brown (4.37 at 235)
pat willis (4.38 at 245+)
DMac (4.27 at 217)
mario williams (4.66 at 290 and strong as frick)
travis williams (4.8 at 300 lbs and like 40 reps)
andre johnson (4.28 at 230)
jevon kearse (4.45 at 255 and like the 2nd best 10-yard dash ever)
vernon davis
darius heyward-bey
antonio cromartie
eddie simms


there are also a ton of RBs/CBs/WRs who played around 200-205 who ran in the 4.33-4.25 range

there are also a ton of OL that i didn't list

40s are listed b/c they're the easiest to remember
